Activity: Education & Research
Purpose: An organization created to celebrate the
academic success and personal achievements of our
Aboriginal (First Nations, Métis
and Inuit) students. We encourage stay in school
initiatives, as well as promote continuation on to
post-secondary institutions. We offer two bursaries to
two well deserving high school graduates who fit our
criteria and display success as an Aboriginal student.
